Counting and Interacting with CSS Tags in Playwright

With Playwright, you can easily count CSS tags and loop through them using locators and methods. Let's say you want to count all the buttons on a page. Here's how you do it:

const buttonsCount = await page.locator('button').count();

The count() method returns the number of elements that match the given locator. In this case, it returns the count of all <button> elements on the page.

Now, let's say you want to interact with each button. You can loop through each element like this:

const buttons = await page.locator('button').toArray();

for (const button of buttons) {
  await button.click();
  // Add more operations as needed
}

Here, we first convert the locator result into an array using toArray(). Then, we iterate over each button element using a for...of loop and perform actions such as clicking on each button.

Remember, when working with multiple elements matching a locator, ensure that your locators uniquely identify your target elements. This helps avoid unintended clicks or interactions with unexpected elements when your web page changes.
